    Brendan Haywood: Totally, horrendously overpaid, and yet not overpaid at all. Haywood's 2009-10 numbers (a contract year, but still): 30.6 MPG, 9.1 PPG, 9.3 RPG, 2.1 BPG, 56.2% FG, 62% FT. Sure sounds like what I'm getting statistically from Perkins or Jordan, right?

    If you're Houston, would you rather overpay Chandler, overpay Jordan … or pretend you want to overpay Chandler, get Dallas to overpay him, then trade for Haywood instead? Even something like "Patrick Patterson ($1.9 million this season) for Haywood ($7.4 million this season)" works under the cap. Hmmmmmmm. If you're Dallas, let's say you offer Chandler a four-year, $69 million deal starting at $15 million in Year 1, then save $5.7 million with a Patterson/Haywood swap. Are you better off? As long as Chandler doesn't break down over these next four years … actually, you are.

    7. Brendan Haywood
    Prediction: Traded to Houston (for Patrick Patterson and a future no. 1 pick)
    Verdict: ONCE OVERPAID, NOW SLIGHTLY OVERPAID

    Patrick Patterson AND a #1 pick for Brendan Haywood? Is this a gag column?

    The Rockets is supposed to GIVE SOMETHING OF VALUE for Brendan Haywood's crap contract?

    I recall a Haywood/Butler trade being considered and rejected by Morey back in 2009/2010, so I doubt they'd touch him, let along give something valuable for him.

    I wouldn't mind getting Haywood for cheap.

    But Patterson + a future 1st?

    You can shove that where the sun don't shine.

    People always consider Bill Simmons as an intelligent guy but the more he i hear what he has to say the more i realize he's an idiot.

    Would be fine with Haywood if we simply have to compete this year and not rebuild. But for Patterson and a pick? Lol.

    LOL. Haywood and his contract is virtually untradeable.

    He also said that Rockets shouldn't be afraid to offer Gasol a 4-year max deal, which is somewhat true.

    I swear what are these guys smoking at ESPN? They think we are tat desperate for a center? Our team is better than the Clippers and others they constantly mention getting these players before we do. I mean literally better.

    Why not just the Battier Trade exception, and if you have to throw in Flynn for a future 2nd round pick?

    Wonderful, I just threw up a little. If this happens, I'm looking out my window for flying pigs.
